Family Secrets

Chapter 7

The group only put their hands up to surrender, making sure that Herobrine and his goons wouldn't attack. Only Soren seemed to have a clue on who Herobrine was, so no one wanted to ignore his warning on angering Herobrine.

"What do you want from us? Who are you?!" cried Female Jesse.

"The name's Herobrine, dear Female Jesse. I can see that you and your brother, Male Jesse, have finally reunited. And you're both eager to know about your parents..." said Herobrine with an evil smile.

'How does he know all about this?! He must've known us from the past, when we were too young to remember anything!' thought Male Jesse.

"You don't know anything about us!" he spat at Herobrine.

Herobrine only chuckled and said, "Don't pretend I don't know who you are. I know you're related. You've both got your father's brave, determined spirt, and the same eyes as your mother. You would both put all of your precious friends before your own safety. I know it."

Male Jesse only frowned, but he didn't speak. He wasn't going to risk making Herobrine angry.

"What's your deal with hunting down our friends?!" Petra angrily asked.

"Petra, don't make him angry. I don't want him to hurt you..." Axel whispered to her.

Herobrine only frowned, but he said, "Your friends are the reason why I can't have what I want, and if I were to kill someone as brave like them, then I can show the world just how powerful I am..."

Before anyone could question Herobrine just how "powerful" he was, the evil man formed a fireball in his hands and shot a tree. The fireball may have been small, but the entire tree caught on fire and burned down to ash in just seconds.

"What did we ever do to you? We've never met you until now!" Female Jesse protested.

By now, Herobrine was starting to look angry, which worried the group. Even Denton and his group were a little frightened by the growing rage their master was experiencing.

"You... you and your brother should've never existed!" he shouted.

"What the heck are you talking about man? We didn't do anything!" said Male Jesse angrily.

"Uh guys... I don't think you should be arguing with him..." Soren whispered.

"You didn't do anything to me, but your father did..." Herobrine said in a dark whisper.

'And he's taking it out on Male Jesse and Female Jesse? Jeez... this guy's got some serious anger management issues he needs to sort out...' thought Magnus.

Male Jesse and Female Jesse were only quiet, and confused. They knew nothing of their parents, and yet, this evil main claimed to know their father. He was aiming to kill them, so they figured it was best not to trust anything Herobrine told them. It could be to manipulate them, and make thing believe some twisted lies.

"You don't know the rumors, don't you? I am a god, and I more powerful than any of you. The world doesn't think I exist, and I chose to hide in the shadows, because I'm bitter at your parents. But the two of you, one of you is the leader of the new Order, and the other has the potential as well. When I kill you both, and your precious friends, then I can show the world I exist, and that I am the one who shall lead everyone..." said Herobrine.

"You don't know us. You don't know our parents either!" said Female Jesse.

"Oh I know your parents alright. Alex was rightfully mine, but she had to choose Steve over me..." Herobrine angrily whispered.

Male Jesse and Female Jesse were stunned to hear the names of their parents. They're heard stories about Steve and Alex, who were famous explorers in their world.

'Their parents are Steve and Alex?! I've heard the stories about those two, but I never knew that they were together, or that they had children! And the story of Herobrine never mentioned him having any kind of connection with them!' thought Soren.

Female Jesse could sense that her brother was starting to feel confused. She wasn't going to let anything Herobrine said try to mess up her thoughts.

"You're making that all up! You're just trying to screw us up!" she shouted angrily.

She must've gone too far, because Herobrine's eyes started to glow brighter, and he started to form some fireballs in his hands.

"Any last words?" he growled angrily.

Before Female Jesse could come up with anything to buy time for her and the rest of her group, Ivor stepped forward, with his hands up in surrender, and said, "Okay. Okay, you've got us. We surrender."

Herobrine seemed to have calm down a bit. His eyes stopped glowing and he extinguished the flames he formed in his hands.

"But before you take us away, I have one thing to say," said Ivor.

The enchanter looked down at the ground, but he quickly shouted, "Catch!" as he threw a splash potion at Herobrine, Denton, and the rest of the bad guys. It hit the bad guys with a direct hit.

"You're dead to me!" Herobrine shouted. However, he shouted it in a deep, slow voice, because it was from the effects of the potion.

"Run! The potion of slowness won't last long!" Ivor shouted at the group.

The group quickly ran away. Just as they were about to get out of sight from Herobrine and his goons, Herobrine suddenly appeared in front of their way.

"You fools! The effects of a potion on me only last for seconds! I will kill you all, starting with the two Jesses!" he shouted.

He shot a blast of energy at the group, but everyone quickly dodged the attack. Gabriel pulled out his sword and charged at Herobrine. He slashed the demon and knocked him back, but Herobrine didn't look hurt.

"RUN! RUN JESSE! BOTH OF YOU, RUN!" he shouted.

Male Jesse and Female Jesse ran away as fast as they could. Denton and the rest of his group suddenly ambushed the group. The others shouted at the twins to run away and get as far from Herobrine as possible.

With no other choice, Male Jesse and Female Jesse ran as far away as possible, with Olivia and Lukas by their side.
